[Jim Kinney]

Excellent suggestion! I noticed dban was looking old but figured as
the system(s) I was working from were older it should probably work.
will try out parted next.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
